Patrons at Maitland’s Aroma Festival were greeted by unseasonably warm August weather across Saturday and Sunday. Thousands munched their way through tasty chocolate and sipped on creamy coffee at the annual event at the Riverside Car Park. The event featured more than 80 different stalls and included a full program of coffee and chocolate inspired cooking demonstrations held on Flavour Stage from local industry professionals and event stallholders as well as performances by local musicians on the Crema stage. A special feature this year was a collaboration between Hunter Beer Co and Newcastle’s Josie Coffee Roasters. The two businesses came together to brew up a special coffee infused ‘Kolsch’ beer.
